I Became the Fiancé of a Crazy Heroine - Chapter 25-1

Mana Absorption.

It was the basic ability of Exceed Rain and a power that symbolized the darkness attribute.

If it was artificially manipulated mana, it could become nourishment for Exceed Rain.

Naturally formed mana could not be interfered with, but magic implemented by humans or Monsters is quickly disintegrated and absorbed as it is.

However, just as darkness disappears wherever light touches, the mana composed of sacred Magic could not be taken away.

‘It’s good, but if you’re not prepared, you’ll end up being used instead.’

Exceed Rain also had inherent abilities of mental domination and mana erosion, along with Mana Absorption.

Mental domination stimulates the user’s desires, and evil intentions, while mana erosion forcibly assimilates the user’s mana exclusively for Exceed Rain.

In other words, as the user’s body and mana pass over to Exceed Rain, they become completely controlled.

In this process, Mana Absorption also becomes a harmful ability.

Usually, the limit of mana is determined by the user, and the body cannot accept more than that.

However, if Exceed Rain dominates the user, even that can be controlled as desired.

As a result, the user’s body and mind would be slowly distorted while absorbing excessive mana excessively.

‘The protagonist isn’t very good at using it either.’

The protagonist barely managed to subdue Exceed Rain after repeated battles, but couldn’t use it as he wanted.

From the beginning, he did not have immunity to Exceed Rain’s Mental domination and Mana Absorption abilities, so he had to rely on El Tesoicve’s help to suppress it.

As a result, Exceed Rain’s power weakened, but as It did not have good compatibility with El Tesoicve, It considered the protagonist an enemy and stubbornly rejected him.

‘It will be the same in the later stages.’

The protagonist acquired the diary left by that person in the later stages of the story.

However, by that time, he was already familiar with El Tesoicve and Nailing, and barely used Exceed Rain.

In the end, he acquired the two immunities as written in the diary, but as he couldn’t use Exceed Rain together with El Tesoicve, thus he tried to find a way to seal Exceed Rain.

‘Now I think I understand a little.’

Sion instinctively believed he could fully absorb that flame.

The less the user’s magic power, the more Exceed Rain craves for it.

As he had exhausted his mana using swordsmanship, his mana absorption ability had also been enhanced.

‘After a few more absorptions, I can use the sword skill.’

While absorbing the previous mana, Sion had slightly regained some of his mana.

If he continuously faced attacks that contained mana, he could once again wield the Exceed Rain.

Therefore, even in a long-term battle, he could periodically launch a sword strike, which would only pose a threat to his enemies.

“You saw that? Do you have faith in me again?”

Sion returns to his original position and smiles.

The knights were left speechless, their mouths slightly agape.

Hanette looked suspicious but reluctantly acknowledged Sion’s power.

“How did you do that?”

“Well…I should keep it a secret for now.”

“You’re going to keep it a secret from me too?”

“Even my father doesn’t know about it.”

“I’m your fiancé, you know?”

“If we were married, then maybe, but I’m not sure about telling my fiancé…”

“Sigh…”

Hanette glared at Sion with dissatisfaction for a moment before turning her head away.

Of course, there were secrets that Sion wanted to keep hidden as well.

But the secret was so shocking that those here witnessed it.

When they returned to the capital, rumors about it would surely spread widely.

“Don’t you have any secrets you want to hide?”

“I don’t have anything like that.”

“Really? You seem like you do.”

“Do you think I’m like you?”

“Well, if you say you don’t have any, then you don’t. I don’t believe you though.”

Sion lightly joked to ease the tension.

If they felt any pressure, they would psychologically weaken and the fear of the enemies would only grow.

That’s why Sion demonstrated the swordsmanship and mana absorption to boost morale.

“Don’t think about fighting. We are already at an advantage just by holding out like this. If Kelidos’s troops come from the south, those guys will have to run away.”

“W-wouldn’t it be better for us to attack first if you can use your swordsmanship? They won’t be able to do anything against us.”

One of the knights guarding them cautiously spoke up.

Sion was about to respond, but the Captain Guard spoke first.

“You idiot! Sion-Nim hopes that no one gets hurt! We don’t care if we get injured, but what if Sion-Nim or Miss Hanette gets hurt? Are you going to bring a priest then?”

“I… I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through.”

“Hmm… The Captain Guard explained everything. That’s the case anyway.”

Sion calmly replied, looking at the guards.

As of now, he couldn’t use the swordsmanship fully, nor could he engage in close combat.

Therefore, he demonstrated his swordsmanship and mana absorption to leave an impression of strength on both their allies and enemies.

If the enemies were to swarm them, they would have to risk their lives.

“There’s no reason to fight. Even if we win, we don’t gain anything special. We could get some information by capturing them, but it’s not a guarantee, and even if we do, they might not talk.”
